    IntroductionDiabetes is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia caused by

    insulin deficiency (type 1 diabetes) or insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes).1 The classical

    symptoms of diabetes are polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia, with other symptoms

    including weight loss, fatigue, frequent infections, blurred vision, slower healing of

    injuries, and numbness in the extremities.2 The impact of diabetes on patients’ lives and

    on society’s economy elicits a compelling need to deal with diabetes more seriously.3

    The main focus of treatment for diabetes is to maintain blood glucose levels in the

    normal range throughout the day. Tight control of glucose levels is essential in slowing

    progression of the disease and in preventing its complications.4

    A valid target when designing antidiabetic agents is inhibition of the dipeptidyl

    peptidase-IV enzyme (DPP-IV). DPP-IV was discovered in 1966, but its role in glucose

    homeostasis took some time to become clear,5 and it was

    not until 1998 that inhibition of DPP-IV was suggested as a

    possible route to manage diabetes.6 Since then, a number of

    DPP-IV inhibitors have appeared in the literature. DPP-IV

    is an example of great demand making a novel target a per-

    fect investment for pharmaceutical companies, and this has

    resulted in four drugs being approved by the US Food and

    Drug Administration and six drugs being marketed world-

    wide in less than 15 years.7

    DPP-IV is composed of a single polypeptide chain con-

    taining 766 amino acids. It can be roughly divided into three

    regions, ie, a catalytic region, a cysteine-rich region, and a

    highly glycosylated region, in addition to a transmembrane

    domain at the N-terminus in the case of membrane-bound

    DPP-IV. DPP-IV monomers join to form homodimers.8,9

    DPP-IV is a serine-type peptidase, meaning that its cata-

    lytic activity is essentially based on an interaction with the

    amino acid serine at its active site.10 The catalytic domain of

    DPP-IV consists of Ser630, Asp708, and His740.11 Although

    distant from the Ser-Asp-His catalytic triad, Glu205 and

    Glu206 play a critical role in the activity of this enzyme.12

    An important feature of the active site of DPP-IV is

    the presence of a tight hydrophobic pocket, known as the

    S1 pocket (see Figure 1). This pocket is responsible for the

    specificity of the DPP-IV substrate for proline and its toler-

    ance for alanine and glycine.13

    The rationale for this work is based on a previous inves-

    tigation performed in our laboratory where screening using a

    DPP-IV enzyme assay kit indicated that compound 1 shown in

    Figure 2 has a 28% inhibitory effect on DPP-IV; this structure

    has subsequently served as a guide compound for the design

    of a series of DPP-IV inhibitors. The present work describes

    the synthesis of 69 novel N-substituted aminobenzamide

    derivatives that were fully characterized with 1H nuclear

    magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and mass and infrared

    spectroscopy, along with evaluation of their DPP-IV inhibition

    activity. Using computer modeling techniques to introduce

    modifications that we assumed would improve binding,

    a series of aminobenzamides was investigated.

    Materials and methodsin silico dockingA search for the DPP-IV enzyme crystal structure in the

    Protein Data Bank14 was conducted on November 30, 2011

    using the search terms “DPP-IV” and “dipeptidyl peptidase-

    IV”. The hits were limited to enzymes extracted from Homo

    sapiens only, and each hit was inspected to check the protein,

    ligand, and resolution. In the “Prepare Protein” protocol,

    the default parameter values were mostly kept the same.

    The proposed compounds were prepared using the “Prepare

    Ligand” protocol, also with default parameters.

    Docking was accomplished using the CDOCKER pro-

    tocol available from Accelrys (San Diego, CA, USA).15 The

    following parameters were used: Top Hits, 10; Random

    Conformations, 10; Orientations to Refine, 10; Forcefield,

    CHARMM; and Use Full Potential, False. Careful inspec-

    tion of all crystal structures showed that the following amino

    acids were involved in binding the substrates (amino acids

    are arranged according to the frequency of bond formation in

    descending order): H-bond-forming amino acids, ie, Glu206,

    Tyr662, Glu205, Arg125, Asn710, Tyr547, Arg358, Tyr631,

    Ser209, Tyr585, Val207, and Tyr666; and Pi-Pi interaction-

    forming amino acids, ie, His740, Tyr662, Phe337, Tyr457,

    Arg125, Arg358, and Trp659.

    chemistryBulk solvents and chemicals were purchased through local

    vendors without any further purification or distillation. The

    progress of reactions was qualitatively analyzed by thin

    layer chromatography performed on Merck aluminum thin

    layer chromatography plates (DC Kieselgel 60 F254). An

    ultraviolet lamp was used to visualize the thin layer chro-

    matography plate. New compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR using a 400 mHz Avance Ultrashield

    spectrometer (Bruker, Ettlingen, Germany); the spectra were

    obtained in parts per million using automatic calibration to

    the residual proton peak of the solvent, ie, dimethylsulfoxide

    (DMSO)-d6. The infrared spectra of the synthesized com-

    pounds were recorded on a Thermo-Nicolet Avatar 360 FT-IR,

    (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockville, MD, USA). A liquid

    chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry system (API

    3200, Applied Biosystems-MDS SCIEX, Foster City, CA,

    USA), employing positive mode, was used to characterize the

    compounds, with the electrospray ionization source operated

    at 5.0–5.5kV, the capillary heater at 350°C, and a sheath gas pressure of 45 psi. The enzyme activity plates were read using

    a universal microplate reader (ELx800, Bio-Tek Instruments

    Inc, Winooski, VT, USA).

    potassium carbonate (one equivalent), and α-bromoketone (one equivalent) were dissolved in dimethylformamide (20 mL). The

    reaction mixture was stirred for 8 hours. The reaction contents

    synthesis of anilinoalcohols (95–120)One equivalent of anilinoketone was dissolved in 20 mL of

    methanol, to which a 1.2 equivalent of sodium borohydride

    was added. The round bottom flask was fitted with a bent dry-

    ing tube filled with silica gel (blue). The reaction was stirred

    at room temperature for 2 hours. The methanol was then

    evaporated under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in

    50 mL of dichloromethane and washed with 30 mL of water,

    then with 30 mL of 1 M HCl solution, and again with 30 mL

    of water. The dichloromethane layer was then dried using

    magnesium sulfate filtered and evaporated under vacuum.

    The product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane.

    DPP-iV enzymatic assayThe DPP-IV drug discovery kit marketed by Enzo Life Sci-

    ences (Farmingdale, New York, NY, USA) was used for this

    test. This kit includes human recombinant DPP-IV enzyme,

    chromogenic substrate (H-Gly-Pro-pNA), a calibration stan-

    dard (p-nitroaniline), an inhibitor (P32/98), and an assay buffer

    (Tris, pH 7.5). The kit was stored at -70°C. On the day before testing, the kit components were defrosted in the refrigerator

    and thawed at room temperature on the day of the test.

    The inhibitor and compounds to be tested were all pre-

    pared in DMSO solution and then diluted in assay buffer to

    yield solutions at a concentration of 100 µM. Next, 5 µL of the substrate was diluted in 245 µL of assay buffer, and 5 µL of the enzyme was diluted in 245 µL of assay buffer.

    The assay buffer was then distributed in all wells of the

    plate in the amounts described in Table 1. The plate was then

    placed in an oven at 37°C for 5 minutes to equilibrate. Next, 15 µL of the enzyme was added to each well except the blank. The inhibitor and the test compound were then added. The

    plate was again incubated at 37°C for 10 minutes to allow interaction between the inhibitor and the enzyme. The final

    step was adding the substrate to start the assay. After that, the

    plate was read using a microplate reader every 2–3 minutes

    for a total of 20 minutes.

    Results and discussionDesign strategyThe design of the target compounds in this project involved a

    combination of computer-aided and traditional drug design.

    The design of the core structures started with a guide com-

    pound (compound 1, see Figure 2) that had a satisfactory

    inhibitory activity of 28% against the DDP-4 enzyme. Careful

    modifications were then introduced based on a thorough

    inspection of the three-dimensional structure of DPP-IV. The

    proposed structures were docked inside the active site using

    specialized in silico software (Discovery Studio 3.5) and the

    possible binding energies were evaluated using computational

    calculations that scored and ranked these energies.

    The work started with docking of compound 1 inside the

    active site using CDOCKER docking software (Figure 3),

    that gave us an idea about the most likely orientation of this

    compound in the active site of DPP-IV. Based on this pose, it

    can be easily recognized that the aminobenzamide part of the

    compound is important for binding since it forms a hydrogen

    bond with the active site in addition to one π-π interaction. Based on the proper orientation the compound 1 had adopted

    by matching the active site geometry and which also fostered

    by performing a network of interactions with the receptor, the

    aminobenzamide moiety was adopted as the core building

    scaffold in this research, with addition of suitable extensions
